Thread: Defensive Shift
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smokingun71</b></div><div>What would a Nurse for Ehlers or Connor trade have to look like in your opinion?</div></div>

It would have to look like Edmonton adding, Ehlers has 5 years of term left and Connor 6, Nurse has 2 left so the Oilers would have to add significantly to make up for that difference and I'm not convinced Pulujarvi alone is enough to make up that difference, there's a ton of servicable dmen in free agency that may not be as good as Nurse but they won't take sacrificing quality young wingers with term/great value contracts for.

Filling one hole by digging another is the exact move the Jets shouldn't make, they also have some good D prospects that are pretty close to being NHL ready so they might not need a dmen as much as so many think they do.

Would love to add Nurse but I wouldn't sell the farm for him, I don't buy into this dmen are so much more valuable than anything else narrative and that wingers are so easy to find, if they were so easy to get the Oilers wouldn't still be looking for wingers.
